I would enthusiastically second the Dana-Thomas Home (but be aware the
lighting is authentically period!), and all the LIncoln sites. The
Lincoln Museum and Library are new and very impressive. I recently
visited New Salem, a town that no longer exists but has been
reconstructed as an historic site, and it certainly receives a "thumbs
up" - the visitor center has an excellent presentation on Lincoln's
stay in New Salem as well as thought provoking discussion on the
reason for the town's demise. The Lincoln tomb and its environs are
also worth visiting - historically and aesthetically. And, you might
consider a visit to me! While I will be in and out of the area (a
family reunion is planned around the third week in July), I'd love to
meet you and am willing to drive to Springfield, if Quincy (a lot to
see) is too far for you.

Taylorville's Christian County Courthouse and frequent events
around its square

Farmers Market (Wed and Sat mornings)

There are LOTS of other things of interest, but these are the top
ones.

Museums and memorials abound here. And this year we are commemorating
the 1908 Race Riot, which lead to the formation of the NAACP. Several
good nature spots and gardens too.
Or did she mean restaurants, places to rent, etc?

Do any of you have any advise? I can't go until I finish 2 more
weeks in

this sling then 6 weeks of Physical therapy.
Does anyone know of an area to avoid... or to not miss.
Thank you in advance,
